Getting a Callie reservation might be harder than avoiding traffic on the 5 during rush hour. That’s because people move quick to secure dishes like lemon saffron linguini with bits of local uni, and juicy Aleppo-spiced chicken that gets a little sweetness from coriander honey. If it’s your first time, the Mediterranean feast for $75 a person is a great way to try a variety of their food, and the wine pairing is worth the extra $40. When they’re in season and available, prioritize the thick and zesty prawns with calabrian chilies. The tables facing the semi-open kitchen are the best seats in the house for splitting spreads with a significant other, but the dining room is the spot for a fancier group dinner. Set a calendar reminder for when tables open up a month in advance, and count the days until you can eat their zhoug-drizzled hummus.
